Church Boats (1938) Part 2

Part 2 of a documentary about church boats (kirkkovene), long rowing boats, which carried parishoners, sometimes really long distances, to Sunday service. The church boat was usually built and owned by many households together. The footage for this documentary was shot in 1938, but the commentary is from 1957.

I remember my grandmother who emigrated in 1902 from Voltti area. I recall her drinking her coffee by pouring it from cup to saucer and holding cube sugar between her teeth and then drinking it.
